No, I'm not talking about Al's favorite magazine. I'm talking about bikes for very large humans.In this case, David, who needs a 22.5" seat tube. Those are some long legs. He's nowhere near my record, though - I once did a bike for a fellow who is 7' tall and almost 400 pounds. THAT was huge.
In any case, a couple of pictures for a lazy Sunday (well, not that lazy, I did finish up the frame - Sarah is deep in thesis mode and my weekends are more and more like weekdays lately). And a new setting! The back deck, somewhat damaged by Pele's furious anger and great vengeance directed at the UPS guy. Someday I will get around to fixing that railing.

how about a shot of those brazons? Looks great walt, looking forward to seeing it in person.
What beast ate your deck?
Hi Walt,
It seems that you found a downtube that was long enough (I mean, not in straight gauge) ? I'm starting a frame for a 2 meter (6ft 8") guy, and I ended up with a DT which is nearly 800mm long...
Francois -
This is just *barely* small enough to use a 750mm downtube. David's legs are longer than the rest of him, so the toptube is a hair under 26".
Don't know of any 800mm butted tubes, sorry!
Yep, I found some 40mm x 0.9 4130 tubing that should do the job...
